This patch set is a collection of patches to enhance efi user interfaces
/commands. It will help improve user experience on efi boot and make it
more usable *without* edk2's shell utility.
Let's see how it works:
=> efidebug boot add 1 SHELL scsi 1:1 /Shell.efi ""
=> efidebug boot add 2 HELLO scsi 1:1 /hello.efi ""
=> efidebug boot dump
Boot0001:
attributes: A-- (0x00000001)
label: SHELL
file_path:
/VenHw(e61d73b9-a384-4acc-aeab-82e828f3628b)/Scsi(1,0)/HD(1,MBR,0x086246ba,0x800,0x40000)/\\Shell.efi
data:
Boot0002:
attributes: A-- (0x00000001)
label: HELLO
file_path:
/VenHw(e61d73b9-a384-4acc-aeab-82e828f3628b)/Scsi(1,0)/HD(1,MBR,0x086246ba,0x800,0x40000)/\\hello.efi
data:
=> efidebug boot order 1 2
=> efidebug boot order
1: Boot0001: SHELL
2: Boot0002: HELLO
=> run -e Boot0002 (or bootefi bootmgr - 2) ; '-' means no dtb specified

(UEFI shell ...)
"env set" command now supports UEFI shell-like syntax:
=> env set -e foo =S\"akashi\" =0x012345 =Habcdef
=> env print -e foo
foo: BS|RT, DataSize = 0xd

Other useful sub commands are:
=> efidebug devices ; print uefi devices
=> efidebug drivers ; print uefi drivers
=> efidebug dh ; print uefi handles
=> efidebug images ; print loaded images
=> efidebug memmap ; dump uefi memory map
Enjoy!
